I have two tables: * JobInfo - gives information about each job * Employees - lists employees and their information In each job, I need to create an entry that assigns a draftsman and a salesperson to each project (in the JobInfo table). I can't figure out how to join both the salesperson and the draftman fields to the employees table. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help. Below is my code: Code: $result= mysql_query (" SELECT JobInfo.SystemNumber, JobInfo.dwgnumber, JobInfo.quotenumber, JobInfo.ponumber, JobInfo.jobnumber, JobInfo.salesperson, JobInfo.draftsman, Employees.empID, Employees.empfirstname, Employees.emplastname, JobInfo.store, Store.storeID, Store.storecity, Store.storestate, customers.ID, customers.firstname, customers.lastname FROM JobInfo INNER JOIN Employees ON JobInfo.salesperson=Employees.empID AND JobInfo.draftsman=Employees.empID INNER JOIN Store ON JobInfo.store=Store.storeID INNER JOIN customers ON Store.owner=customers.ID ORDER BY dwgnumber DESC Limit 10 ") or die (mysql_error());
You need to use table aliases Code: SELECT j.SystemNumber, j.dwgnumber, j.quotenumber, j.ponumber, j.jobnumber, j.salesperson, j.draftsman, e1.empID, e1.empfirstname, e1.emplastname, e2.empID, e2.empfirstname, e2.emplastname, j.s, s.sID, s.scity, s.sstate, c.ID, c.firstname, c.lastname FROM JobInfo j INNER JOIN Employees e1 ON j.salesperson=e1.empID INNER JOIN Employees e2 ON j.draftsman=e2.empID INNER JOIN Store s ON j.s=s.sID INNER JOIN customers c ON s.owner=c.ID ORDER BY dwgnumber DESC Limit 10
